Hate to see Temple go, been watching them for 30 years in the league, but it's great to get the last laugh (at least until the next conference realignment)

You may be right, Insider. We have two Top-50 wins away from home. Not many bubblers have that. Root against Ole Miss! Kentucky and Iowa shit themselves.

Great win !

No matter what happens tomorrow this team can be proud of their season.

Chaz is amazing.

I will truly miss playing Temple twice a year.

We made some really really bad offensive basketball plays for much of the game but came on very strong down the stretch.

The defense was really good by Freddie and the team defense really made it tough on Wyatt which is always the key against Temple.

I had my doubts for most of the game but as always, this team never never quits.
This is the most enjoyable losing season ever!

UMASS gives Temple its final loss in the A10! Can't get better than that. Life is good!

I've criticized this team several times this year of playing with no heart, but the last 5 minutes of last night and all game tonight was all heart and desire by the team.

Unsung heroes tonight were Freddy Riley with key baskets throughout the game and stellar defense on Crybaby Wyatt and Maxie Esho with every huge rebound in the second half.

Win and move on boys!!

I think nerves got the best of Chaz in the first half of the GW game, playing in Brooklyn. But from the last few minutes of last night and then tonight, he just would not let us lose!

I was yelling at TV to pass the ball at the end. Glad he didn't oblige.

By the way, is this the same team that shot 6-16 FT at Charlotte???

Great Game UMass! So proud of all of our guys. All of our guys played great tonight. So glad to see us turnaround and get a bunch of rebounds. Here's hoping that we get a big UMass crowd for the game tomorrow.

Damn - maybe I shouldn't watch any games. . .stupid A-10 network, but incredible that they won!!! VCU's gonna be a huge challenge. Gotta slow it down - not trying to keep up with them this time. Also have to figure out a way for Chaz to beat the double teams.

As someone else said, we need Ole Miss to lose!

Player of the game? I gotta give it to Freddie. He locked down the best player in the A10.

It is only fitting that we helped Temple start their 7 game win streak only to end it. The Road to Redemption continues!!!! Go Umass!!!

Huge game tomorrow!!!
Yes I am a Minuteman!! Best 60 seconds of your life!!
